“‘It’s like you only get so many years to be a child, and then once you’re an adult, you’re an adult for, like, 100 years,’ she said. ‘That’s it. Welcome to adulthood. There’s no turning back.’”
The Miley Cyrus Message, in the Eyes of Schoolgirls - New York Times
Being an adult ain’t so bad sweetie. You get to drink and fuck and stay out till dawn and no one asks you where you’re going every. fucking. time. you leave your house. It’s pretty tight actually.
Other favorite naive quote from the article:
NOT that the message in some magazine matters, said another girl, throwing down a cigarette. She and her friends act and dress the way they do because those choices help them express themselves, she argued, not because they were influenced by the media. For example: “I smoke,” she said. “I made that decision myself — I didn’t see someone doing it in a magazine and say, ‘Oh, I want to smoke.’ ”
